Looks notable to me. Reliable sources 1, 2, already listed in the article. Don't delete: fix.—S Marshall T/C 23:53, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@S Marshall neither is significant coverage and whether independent or not, they both read as promo pieces to me. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 23:59, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I collegially join issue with you. :) The Sunday Times is a British Newspaper of Record and Wikipedians evaluate it as reliable. The relevant discussions and consensuses are linked from WP:THETIMES. If you can read that link and say it's not SIGCOV then I don't really know how to react to that.—S Marshall T/C 00:56, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both would be considered reliable I believe, but The Times reference would not be considered WP:CORPDEPTH. The Lancashire Telegraph is borderline WP:CORPDEPTH as it does go beyond a routine announcement by providing background on the company. Are there any others as even if these both were found sufficient, not sure they would be enough for notability. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:47, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Daily Mirror is also a British national newspaper, much less reliable than The Times (cf WP:DAILYMIRROR) and I would be suspicious of anything controversial that it said, but I would think it's reliable for the uncontroversial claims in this article, which is again already listed as a source. The article seems to be about the founders, but it's got quite a bit of depth about the business.—S Marshall T/C 22:31, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing and notifying of the deletion proposal. I tried to only use secondary sources that meet the standards for credibility. Although I do agree with you that some feel promotional, as far as I could tell none were advertorials, product placements etc, and were more just positive skewed coverage. I did try and balance the article and remove any overall bias in the article by proactively seeking out critical sources also.

Keep – top sources are used. I concur with S Marshall. Also, the article isn’t very WP:PROMO imo. TLA (talk) 06:36, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The sourcing is adequate for a corporate article and promotionalism is not so thorough as to necessitate a complete rewrite. It just needs some minor editing. Eluchil404 (talk) 02:36, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
